Chapter Four: An Vs Joey, The Rematch.
_______________________________________________________________________________
It was home time again before An walked up to Yugi Joey and their friends. The had seen her apparently asking Seto for a favour.
"Hi An." Ryou noticed the deck in her hand. "You here for a game?"
"Err yeah." She turned to Joey putting her cards on the desk.. "I want to play Joey again, I think I've figured how to sort out his red-eyes if he beats me there's a prize."
"Oh yeah?" Joey asked his curiosity sparked. "What happens if I lose?"
"Nothing. But I want to use Seto's holo-arena, the one in his house not Kiaba land, he showed me. I want to have a go with it."
"Alright then...wait a sec you have borrowed any cards of your boyfriend have you?"
"Joey what are you on about?" Tristan asked.
"Seto of course, she did go to dinner with him."
They turned to the sound of laughter. At first they thought it was Yugi it sounded like his laugh but it was An. She was laughing so hard tears were forming in her eyes. Seto walked out in then. He quirked his eyebrows at An's laughing fit, until she started coughing. He quickly walked to her back and opened up her school bag, which was a back pack. He opened the front pocket and took the blue inhaler out. He walked to face the wheezing An and placed it in her hands. She used it like she had in the park.
"I told you that you should carry it in your pocket instead." He said.
"Yes Uncle Seto." An moaned. Then she grinned. "You should have heard what Joey said. I don't know which was funnier..."
An started laughing quietly, Seto glared at her.
"Like I said I don't which is funnier, whether you would actually lend me your cards, or that you were my boyfriend."
Seto glared at Joey who wanted to disappear. An glanced from one to the other.
"Anyway." She said quickly. "Joey, Duel?"
"Your on!" As if on cue Seto's Limo pulled up in front of the school.
"Come on then." Seto didn't sound to happy. "I can't believe she talked me into this."
The arrived at the Kaiba's home.
"An!" Mokuba came running out of the mansion and hugged her.
"Mokuba, wanna see me try and trounce Joey?" An asked.
"Your playing again? Of course I want to watch!"
They walked into the arena, the same arena, Yugi and Seto and duelled each other for the first time.
Seto stood behind An as she stepped on to her platform.. "I don't want you helping me Seto."
"I wasn't going to, as long a Yugi doesn't help Joey." Seto said. "But I do want to see, up close, how much you've improved. That is, if you've improved."
Yugi agreed not to coach Joey. He, Tea, Tristan, Ryou, and Mokuba watched from the side. Joey wasn't daft, he had drawn the Red-Eyes in his first draw but he wasn't going to use it after all he had other monsters to kick An's butt with.
He played Baby Dragon for his first move and attacked.
"You get first blood." An said nodding her head to Joey.
An played The Mystic Elf in defence mode. Seto rolled his eyes behind her. She played a card face down too.
Joey played the Flamed Swordsman.
An smiled, what worried Joey more was Seto smiled behind her. Sexy smile though, ACK! Where did THAT thought come from, come on Joey concentrate on the game!
"What are you smiling at?" Joey asked.
"Well I got the chance to use one of the cards I added to my deck." An said as she played the Change Of Heart card.
Ryou paled when he saw it. Luckily nether An, Seto or Mokuba noticed. He saw Yugi shot him a worried glance, Ryou gave a small nod to show he was okay.
An forced the Flamed Swordsman to kill the Baby Dragon.
"Not fair." Joey complained.
"Alls fair in love and war Joey." An smiled "Pity that card was cute."
Seto rolled his eyes again.
"What's your favourite card?" Tea asked, maybe she had noticed Ryou pale, or maybe she was worried herself.
"The Mystic Elf." An shot a glare at Seto. "Seto just loves killing her.
"If you didn't play it in every single duel you play." Seto reasoned. "I wouldn't keep destroying it."
"Oh like you don't pull out those blasted Blue-eyes every chance you get?" An complained.
"Fastest way to get rid of your Elf." Seto explained.
Yugi coughed. "Getting back to the duel, it's Joey's turn."
Ryou laughed quietly, An blushed.
"If your finished making my cards kill each other, and you little lovers tiff." Joey said. Seto shook his head and An smothered a laugh. "I play my Red-Eyes Black-dragon. Get rid of that dumb Elf."
An sighed as she put her favourite card in the graveyard pile. Then she looked at Joey, she smiled.
"Err why are you smiling?"
"I got a Magic card face down, I'm turning it over now."
Seto laughed. It was the black hole card.
"Oh man!" Joey sighed. "Well that took care of my Red-Eyes."
"Did you take that out of your brothers deck?" Seto asked.
"No. It was one of my spares, why?"
"Andrew had three in his deck, you figure it out."
Joey felt a bit better thinking that An's brother had pulled the same trick on Seto's Blue-eyes. He drew his next card, his eyes lit up.
"Joey." An said. "You know it does help if you can bluff in this game."
Joey glared at her. "I'll play Lava Battle Guard in attack mode."
"Sorry Joey."
"Why."
"I think I'm getting predictable." She said.
"Not another magic card?"
"Yup." An played Monster Reborn. "I want your Red-Eyes, and that's all three of the new cards played."
Joey growled as his own Red-Eyes killed his Lava Battle guard and took a big chunk out of his life points.
Joey drew his next card, ironic, it was the Swamp Battle Guard. But that wasn't the card he was going to play. He was going to play the card he had drew last turn.
"You know this is a nice trip down memory lane for me, this was how I won the Red-Eyes Black-Dragon card in the first place." Joey said. "I play the Time Wizard."
"So your letting the outcome of this game come down to chance?" Seto asked.
"Yep, just like when I won the Red-eyes."
Joey made his attack...
The dragon fossilised. Joey started doing a victory dance on his platform, almost falling off.
Seto shook his head at the blond making a fool of himself.
"So what did I win?" Joey asked after he had finished.
"An invitation for you, Tea Tristan and Ryou to come to Andrew's Exhibition with me and Yugi...that is if you all want to."
Seto sighed. "Your telling me you didn't have the guts to just ask them?"
An glared at Seto.
"I'd love to go." Ryou said, the others agreed.
An beamed. "Thanks and thank you Joey."
"Me? What for?" He asked.
"The game. Winding you up with those Magic cards was fun. And for making me laugh until I couldn't breath. That hasn't happened in a long time."
"Isn't that a bad thing?" Yugi asked.
"How can laughing be a bad thing? I would have be able to breath again even with out the inhaler."
"What's so funny about thinking you and Seto are a couple?" Tristan asked
Mokuba giggled, apparently he found it funny too.
"Maybe I should tell you." An said.
"Don't you dare." Seto warned.
"Okay uncle Seto." An said in an over meek voice. Mokuba laughed again
"Great, your both wound up now aren't you?" Seto asked. An nodded like an idiot. Mokuba shrugged.
"I'm going then." Seto swept out just like that.
An sniggered. "I love winding him up."
"Isn't that kind of dangerous?" Ryou asked.
"If it was I really am in trouble I've been doing it for years." An admitted.
"And I've been doing it even longer." Mokuba said.
Suddenly An's stomach growled, she blushed.
"Why don't stay for dinner?" Mokuba asked.
"I guess I'd better had." An said she looked at the others.
"They can stay to, if you insist." Seto said from the door way. Joey should have known he hadn't gone far.
*******************************************************************************
So there they were having dinner and An thought the atmosphere was strained to say the least. An and also realised what was straining it. An missed what Joey said, but didn't miss the reply.
"Shut up dog." Seto said to Joey. An looked up at Seto shocked, she looked to Joey who was being held down by Tristan.
Seto, why are you calling Joey a dog. She asked in Welsh
Seto looked up at An. To annoy him.
An looked at Seto her eyes narrowing.
Don't start getting idea's An. Seto said, an almost invisible blush powering his face.
Too late. An said. Seto's got a secret and I know what it is.
"What are you to talking about?" Yugi asked.
"Oh I was just asking Seto to stop calling Joey a dog." An said turning to Yugi. The dinner went on and Seto didn't insult Joey once. He spent most of the dinner talking to Mokuba.
Everyone save Joey sent An a look of thanks. Joey was to busy fuming. An could swear there was steam coming out if his ears.
"So..." An sat after the others had left. "You picked another pet?"
"It's not like that An."
"What you think I'm going to be mad because of Andrew?" An asked. "He'd want you to be happy besides..."
"I know I know." Seto waved off the rest of An's comment before she could finish. "It doesn't matter."
"Sure it dose." An complained. "And I think it would make everyone's life easer."

Joey: Hah! I beat here again!
*Shadow appears behind Joey and whacks him over head with mallet.*
Joey: @.@ Ow!
Shadow: Stop beating my Hikari!
C. Authoress: Yami-An it's okay, it was just a game.
Yami-An : Yeah and not a very good one.
C. Authoress: Which would you rather? Games that are a bit like the ones in the show where I *know* the life points attack points and Defence points are correct or make up new monsters and stiff and get it all wrong because I don't know the rules right yet.
Yami: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW THE RULES.
C. Authoress: I haven't *quite* memorised them yet. Like I found out after I wrote this that your not allowed to have more than one Black hole card in your deck.
Yugi: *Drags Yami away before he can attack Author*
Yami-An : Review or I'll send Joey to the shadow realm.
Joey: O.o help me.
